The biggest movies playing at Brooklyn’s dueling film festivals aren’t new — but they’re just as relevant today as when they were released.

Walter Hill’s classic “The Warriors” is one of those rare films that get better with age. The violent, visually compelling 1979 picture, which will be screened at the Coney Island Film Festival on Saturday at 10 pm, follows a scrappy gang of pleather-vested hooligans from the People’s Playground as they fight their way home from a gang summit meeting in the Bronx.

Though the movie’s representations of urban violence and youth gangs seem inaccurate and cartoonish 30 years later, there’s nothing more fun — or timely — than rooting for the underdogs from Coney Island when it seems like the whole city is against them.

The decade-old film — which will be screened at the Red Hook International Film and Video Festival on Saturday at 1 pm — tells the filthy history of the stinking waterway using a mix of color video, archival footage, and interviews with local celebrities including Community Board 6 manager Craig Hammerman, himself a member of the New York City Hall of Fame.
